QNearFieldTarget Class

Member Function Documentation

QNearFieldTarget::QNearFieldTarget(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a new near field target with parent.

[virtual] QNearFieldTarget::~QNearFieldTarget()

Destroys the near field target.

[pure virtual] QNearFieldTarget::AccessMethods QNearFieldTarget::accessMethods() const

Returns the access methods support by this near field target.

bool QNearFieldTarget::disconnect()

Closes the connection to the target.

Returns true only if an existing connection was successfully closed.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.9.

See also keepConnection() and setKeepConnection().

[signal] void QNearFieldTarget::disconnected()

This signal is emitted when the near field target moves out of proximity.

[signal] void QNearFieldTarget::error(QNearFieldTarget::Error error, const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id)

This signal is emitted when an error occurs while processing request id. The error parameter describes the error.

[virtual protected] bool QNearFieldTarget::handleResponse(const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id, const QByteArray &response)

Handles the response received for the request id. Returns true if the response is handled; otherwise returns false.

Classes reimplementing this virtual function should call the base class implementation to ensure that requests initiated by those classes are handled correctly.

The default implementation stores the response such that it can be retrieved by requestResponse().

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[virtual] bool QNearFieldTarget::hasNdefMessage()

Returns true if at least one NDEF message is stored on the near field target; otherwise returns false.

bool QNearFieldTarget::isProcessingCommand() const

Returns true if the target is processing commands; otherwise returns false.

bool QNearFieldTarget::keepConnection() const

Returns true if this feature is enabled.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.9.

See also setKeepConnection() and disconnect().

int QNearFieldTarget::maxCommandLength() const

Returns the maximum number of bytes that can be sent with sendCommand. 0 will be returned if the target does not support sending tag type specific commands.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.9.

See also sendCommand() and sendCommands().

[signal] void QNearFieldTarget::ndefMessageRead(const QNdefMessage &message)

This signal is emitted when a complete NDEF message has been read from the target.

See also readNdefMessages().

[signal] void QNearFieldTarget::ndefMessagesWritten()

This signal is emitted when NDEF messages have been successfully written to the target.

See also writeNdefMessages().

[virtual] QNearFieldTarget::RequestId QNearFieldTarget::readNdefMessages()

Starts reading NDEF messages stored on the near field target. Returns a request id which can be used to track the completion status of the request. An invalid request id will be returned if the target does not support reading NDEF messages.

An ndefMessageRead() signal will be emitted for each NDEF message. The requestCompleted() signal will be emitted was all NDEF messages have been read. The error() signal is emitted if an error occurs.

[signal] void QNearFieldTarget::requestCompleted(const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id)

This signal is emitted when a request id completes.

See also sendCommand().

QVariant QNearFieldTarget::requestResponse(const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id)

Returns the decoded response for request id. If the request is unknown or has not yet been completed an invalid QVariant is returned.

[virtual] QNearFieldTarget::RequestId QNearFieldTarget::sendCommand(const QByteArray &command)

Sends command to the near field target. Returns a request id which can be used to track the completion status of the request. An invalid request id will be returned if the target does not support sending tag type specific commands.

The requestCompleted() signal will be emitted on successful completion of the request; otherwise the error() signal will be emitted.

Once the request completes successfully the response can be retrieved from the requestResponse() function. The response of this request will be a QByteArray.

See also requestCompleted() and waitForRequestCompleted().

[virtual] QNearFieldTarget::RequestId QNearFieldTarget::sendCommands(const QList<QByteArray> &commands)

Sends multiple commands to the near field target. Returns a request id which can be used to track the completion status of the request. An invalid request id will be returned if the target does not support sending tag type specific commands.

If all commands complete successfully the requestCompleted() signal will be emitted; otherwise the error() signal will be emitted. If a command fails succeeding commands from this call will not be processed.

Once the request completes the response for successfully completed requests can be retrieved from the requestResponse() function. The response of this request will be a QList<QByteArray>.

See also requestCompleted() and waitForRequestCompleted().

bool QNearFieldTarget::setKeepConnection(bool isPersistent)

Preserves the connection to the target device after processing a command or reading/writing NDEF messages if isPersistent is true. By default, this behavior is not enabled.

Returns true if enabling this feature was successful. A possible reason for a failure is the lack of support on the used platform.

Enabling this feature requires to use the disconnect() function too, to close the connection manually and enable communication with the target from a different instance. Disabling this feature will also close an open connection.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.9.

See also keepConnection() and disconnect().

void QNearFieldTarget::setResponseForRequest(const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id, const QVariant &response, bool emitRequestCompleted = true)

Sets the decoded response for request id to response. If emitRequestCompleted is true the requestCompleted() signal will be emitted for id; otherwise no signal will be emitted.

See also requestResponse().

[pure virtual] QNearFieldTarget::Type QNearFieldTarget::type() const

Returns the type of tag type of this near field target.

[pure virtual] QByteArray QNearFieldTarget::uid() const

Returns the UID of the near field target.

[virtual] QUrl QNearFieldTarget::url() const

Returns the URL of the near field target.

[virtual] bool QNearFieldTarget::waitForRequestCompleted(const QNearFieldTarget::RequestId &id, int msecs = 5000)

Waits up to msecs milliseconds for the request id to complete. Returns true if the request completes successfully and the requestCompeted() signal is emitted; otherwise returns false.

[virtual] QNearFieldTarget::RequestId QNearFieldTarget::writeNdefMessages(const QList<QNdefMessage> &messages)

Writes the NDEF messages in messages to the target. Returns a request id which can be used to track the completion status of the request. An invalid request id will be returned if the target does not support reading NDEF messages.

The ndefMessagesWritten() signal will be emitted when the write operation completes successfully; otherwise the error() signal is emitted.
